KIEV Dec 17 (Reuters) - Ukrainian opposition leader Vitaly
Klitschko said on Tuesday that President Viktor Yanukovich had
betrayed Ukraine's national interests and independence by
agreeing to a $15 billion bailout from Russia.

"He has given up Ukraine's national interests, given up
independence and prospects for a better life for every
Ukrainian," he told crowds on Kiev's Independence Square.

Klitschko, a world heavyweight boxing champion, called for
early elections and said he wanted to meet Yanukovich "in the
ring".
